Aetna Health Insurance reported they are leaving the California commercial center for individual and family designs. The end date of every one of their plans is December 31, 2013. Each of the 49,000 Aetna customers still have a half year to make sense of what wellbeing design they should move to. In this article we’ll give you a basic mapping that prescribes which designs you should move to in light of the Aetna wellbeing design you as of now have, a “gotcha” to keep an eye out for, and a few silver linings to like.

The least complex approach to supplant your Aetna Health Insurance is to just search for an option design with the same (or comparative) deductible sum. The suggestions beneath will make that simple to do. With only somewhat more exertion, you could reevaluate what you require in yearly health advantages and pick an arrangement the is a superior fit for your present needs. In any case, you ought to have the capacity to locate a decent arrangement recorded underneath.

Aetna Health Insurance Underwriting Is More Lenient

This will be the gotcha for a few people. Aetna has dependably been all the more eager to acknowledge individuals with some wellbeing conditions. I know some of my customers are in Aetna designs since they had particular wellbeing conditions that alternate bearers either would not acknowledge, or would “rate” considerably higher than Aetna. So this is something you must know about and be watchful about.

On the off chance that you have existing wellbeing conditions, or are “too short” (alright… a little finished weight), or have an evaluated design with Aetna, at that point you should converse with a specialist before you apply with another medical coverage organization. You’ll need to have the dealer do Pre-Screen Requests for you to perceive how the other insurance agencies will treat your application.

It’s imperative to do the pre-screen step to start with, in light of the fact that in the event that you simply pick a wellbeing design, apply for it, and afterward get declined or appraised considerably higher, it will be difficult to get other insurance agencies to consider your application.

This arrangement depiction coordinates nearly to what is offered in the Anthem Blue Cross SmartSense designs. In the event that you just need two office visits as opposed to three, at that point the best decisions are the Health Net PPO Advantage designs and the ClearProtection design from Anthem Blue Cross.

In the event that cost of the arrangement is one of your main considerations, at that point here is the way the option designs above ought to be utilized.

Aetna Open Access MC Plan Alternatives

The Open Access designs are Aetna’s top of the line offerings. These designs offered boundless office visits for only a copay, gave both Generic and Brand name remedy scope, and offered deductibles of 5,000, 3,500, 2,750, and 1,750.

The best mappings of the Open Access designs are the accompanying:

Cigna Open Access Value designs – Cigna’s entrance designs, however fundamentally the same as the Aetna designs yet without mark name remedy scope

Song of praise Blue Cross Premier designs – these plans are the highest point of the line from Anthem

Cigna Open Access designs – the top of the line Cigna designs

Blue Shield Secure Plus designs – Blue Shield’s best end designs

Wellbeing Net does not have any plans that give boundless office visits and scope of brand name medicines, so there are no choices recorded.

These are Aetna’s entrance in the Health Savings Account (HSA) good market. Like all HSA designs, they give no advantages with the exception of zero-cost preventive care until after you achieve the deductible. The designs accompany two deductibles, either 5,500 or $3,500.

The mappings for these HSA designs is the accompanying:

Wellbeing Net CFB HSA 4500 arrangement – this is the best esteem HSA design in the market

A few customers might hope to bring down premiums AND lower the OOPM’s they have had before. In the event that this is your desire, at that point here are two or three alternatives you ought to investigate:

Wellbeing Net CFB PPO Standard designs – the OOPM in these plans is equivalent to the deductible, and 2 office visits for a copay

Cigna Open Access Value 5000/100% – the OOPM is the same as the deductible, and the arrangement offers boundless office visits

These option designs will cost somewhat more than the immediate substitution choices recorded in the segments above. In any case, the engaging quality of having lower hazard if a mishap or a medicinal condition begins is exceptionally convincing.

Silver Linings In The California Aetna Health Insurance Decision

I trust that Aetna is quite recently the first in a line of huge and little medical coverage organizations that will leave the California individual and family medical coverage commercial center throughout the following 3-5 years. Aetna had a little piece of the overall industry, and would experience considerable difficulties contending with the insurance agencies that command the California showcase. So having Aetna leave now will decrease the turbulence we see amid the Health Care Reform take off later this fall.

The principal silver covering in the majority of this is Aetna designs have a tendency to have high Out-Of-Pocket Maximums (OOPM). For instance, for a family, the Open Access Value 8000 arrangement has an OOPM of $25,000, while the Anthem Blue Cross SmartSense 6000 arrangement and the ealth Net PPO Advantage 6500 have a $19,000 OOPM.

This is one reason individuals have avoided new Aetna designs unless no other medical coverage organization would acknowledge them. There are a lot of plans from Health Net, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, and Blue Shield that will have bring down OOPM’s than the Aetna designs.

The last silver covering of this change at Aetna, is that Aetna designs have not been exceptionally focused the most recent few years. So changing to practically identical plans will give you a diminishment in premiums. With the data we’ve given you above, you ought to have the capacity to locate a decent Aetna substitution design, now go forward and thrive.
